We had a little rain, and the only flower that bloomed was a cholla flower.
These were described to me when I was a little girl as puppy dog tails by my grandparents.
Do you have a family friendly blog? Please comment, and leave a link to your blog. I would love to come on over to visit.

Cactus has such a lovely quality to it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty flower!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely flower Danielle. I like the name that your grandparents gave it!:) Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic! Who'd think that a pretty little flower like that could come out of the prickles :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, but those stickers look ouchy!
ReplyDeleteI miss the beauty of the desert, there is something amazing to be found with every season. :)
ReplyDeleteI love cacti. I just bought my dad a spineless Prickly Pear for Fathers Day.
ReplyDeleteNever seen such a thing in person before ~ pretty!

I've never seen one of those, but then I've never spent much time in the desert either. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, puppy dog tails huh? That's too cute. I've never seen one either. I use to have this cactus for years and it use to grow flowers, but it would bloom for one day and die and more would come. They were beautiful. I wish I knew the name of that cactus to buy another. My daughter bought for me in Vegas where my Mom use to live & she doesn't know either. Hmmm Maybe I should google that. hehehe
